Montreal International Poetry Prize 2026
Deadline: Fri 15 May 2026
The Montreal International Poetry Prize is committed to encouraging the creation of original works of poetry, to building international readerships, and to exploring the world’s Englishes.
The Montreal Prize awards one prize of $20,000 CAD to a poet for a single poem of forty or fewer lines on any topic. A jury of internationally reputed poets and critics selects a shortlist of approximately sixty poems, from which a judge chooses one winner. The shortlist is published in The Montreal Poetry Prize Anthology.
The prize is run by the Department of English at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. Every year, jurors and finalists of the Montreal Prize share their work in Fluid Vessels, our online reading series. All are welcome to listen and join the discussion.
Entries (primarily in English) may be submitted from anywhere in the world.
Entry fees (CAD): $20-$25
